FtpGetCurrentDirectory Function

---

Retrieves the current directory for the specified FTP session.

Syntax

BOOL FtpGetCurrentDirectory(
    IN HINTERNET hConnect,
    OUT LPTSTR lpszCurrentDirectory,
    IN OUT LPDWORD lpdwCurrentDirectory
);

The actual syntax of this function varies between its ANSI and Unicode implementations. For more information, see Win32 Internet Functions Syntax.

Parameters

hConnect

Valid handle to an FTP session.

lpszCurrentDirectory

Address of a buffer that receives the current directory string, which specifies the absolute path to the current directory. The string is null-terminated.

lpdwCurrentDirectory

Address of a variable that specifies the length, in characters, of the buffer for the current directory string. The buffer length must include room for a terminating null character. Using a length of MAX_PATH is sufficient for all paths. When the function returns, the variable receives the number of characters copied into the buffer.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise. To get a specific error message, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If the lpszCurrentDirectory buffer is not large enough, lpdwCurrentDirectory receives the number of bytes required to retrieve the full, current directory name.
